About Is This Love

"Is This Love" is a song by American rock band Survivor. The first single from Survivor's sixth album, "Is This Love" was written by their songwriting tandem of keyboard player Jim Peterik and guitarist Frankie Sullivan. Peterik explained: "That's another song that I wrote out of experience. 'We run those mean streets, blind alleys where the currency of love changes hands, all touch, no feeling, just another one night stand,' we've all felt that. I felt that when I was dating and on the road and empty relationships that you knew weren't going to go anywhere. What is love? It's a guy questioning that."This song peaked No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 in January 1987.

I've heard talk of blind devotion
Lovers through thick and thin
Lives touched with real emotion
Faithful till the bitter end
Now I must admit that the story's attractive
I've lost in far too many affairs
I've seen all the pain that the morning can bring
I need to prove to myself
This is more than a crush
Can you convince me it's not just a physical rush.

[Chorus]
Is this love that I'm feelin'
Is this love that's been keepin' me up all night
Is this love that I'm feelin'
Is this love.

So many nights in blind confusion
I've walked the line of love
We reach out in disillusion
When one night isn't nearly enough
Now I'd like to know that for once in my life
I'm sure of what tomorrow may bring
I've heard all your talk
Can I take it to heart
Now look me straight in the eye
'Cause tonight is the night
We've got to ask each other if the moment is right.

[Chorus]

I've tread those mean streets
Blind alleys where the currency of love changes hands
All touch
No feeling just another one night stand
I need to know that there's someone who cares
Could you be the angel to answer my prayers.

[Chorus]
